A formidable group of elite runners from the Boxer Athletics Club (AC) is set to showcase their talent at the inaugural Boxer Super Run in Tshwane, taking place at TUKS (Uitspan) on Sunday, 10 November 2024.
Boxer AC Elites dominated the Boxer Super Run in Durban on Sunday, 13 October, with Precious Mashele, Kabelo Mulaudzi, and Chris Mhlanga claiming the top three spots in the Men’s Elite Race.
Mashele’s remarkable time of 13:39 once again crowned him the fastest South African to complete a 5km on home soil, breaking his own record from the 2023 event, where he finished in 13:44.
In the Elite Women’s Race, Karabo More secured 1st place, with Cacisile Sosibo taking 3rd.
“We are immensely proud of the exceptional performances by our Boxer AC athletes at the recent Boxer Super Run in Durban,” says Lee-Ann Pillay, Head of Marketing at Boxer Superstores.
“The Boxer Super Run not only provides a national platform for our athletes to showcase their talent, but it also cultivates a strong sense of community and camaraderie among runners throughout South Africa.
“We are thrilled with the success in Durban and can’t wait to bring the same energy, excitement, and results to Tshwane.
“This event is more than just a race—it’s about creating an inspiring environment where our elite athletes motivate and are motivated by runners of all levels.”
“We’re thrilled to celebrate the debut of the Boxer Super Run at TUKS (Uitspan),” says Rhyn Swanepoel, National Manager of the Boxer Athletics Club.
“I’ve always had a strong connection to TUKS, the venue is world-class and offers a safe, controlled environment.
“The race will take place entirely within the TUKS grounds, with no use of public roads, making it ideal for our athletes.
“Many of our runners are familiar with this prestigious venue, and they’re excited to compete in their club’s event here.
“Boxer AC has firmly established itself as one of South Africa’s top pro clubs, and now, having two world-class events on the calendar is the perfect achievement.
“Our focus is to deliver a successful event and push for the best times possible, although the inland altitude in Tshwane presents more of a challenge compared to the faster coastal conditions in Durban. Nonetheless, we are excited and will arrive ready to race!”
Boxer AC Elite Runners set to compete at the Boxer Super Run in Tshwane will include Karabo More, Cacisile Sosibo, Chris Mhlanga, and Tshegofatso Pilane, among others.
Fresh off her victory at the Boxer Super Run in Durban, Karabo More is eager for round two at the Boxer Super Run at TUKS (Uitspan) in Tshwane.
“I’m excited that the event will be held in a familiar area. The grass track feels like my second home,” says More.
Cacisile Sosibo adds, “I have never trained at TUKS, but I’m thrilled that we can now participate in more Boxer Super Run events across different provinces. The prize money is impressive and serves as a strong incentive for athletes, motivating us to put in the hard work.”
Chris Mhlanga expects a challenging race, noting, “TUKS is a fantastic venue, so while the event is sure to be fun, it will also be demanding.”
Tshegofatso Pilane shares his enthusiasm: “TUKS is an excellent venue for the Boxer Super Run, and I look forward to racing there. My goal is to achieve a strong time and remain competitive.”
